The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) aims to study neutrino oscillations using high-precision measurements with detectors like the Near Detector complex located downstream of the neutrino beam. Components such as ND-LAr and SAND play crucial roles in scanning energy spectra. SAND, a permanent fixture, includes a Superconducting magnet and other components for on-axis detection. Formerly known as KLOE, SAND focuses on monitoring spectrum variations, flux measurements, and conducting cross-section measurements on various targets. The DUNE project holds significant potential for advancing neutrino physics research.
